Clearstream
The tremendous trading volumes on securities markets boost the demand for settlement
and custody services. Clearstream International is Europe’s leading provider of these back-
office services for shares and bonds in national and international trading.
In the 1990s, Clearstream became a full bank and began to provide global custody services
to financial institutions across the globe, covering not only international, but also domestic
securities markets. In addition, Clearstream is the central securities depository for securities
trading in Germany as well as Luxembourg, since 2011. Clearstream plays an important role
in mitigating market risks and has repeatedly been awarded “AA” credit ratings by the major
international rating agencies.
Only a part of the value-added chain is generated by trading; the settlement of transactions
is far more complex. When a trade is concluded, the individual positions are entered and
cash is settled for securities. This is followed by a credit entry in the customer's custody
account and, parallel to this, the securities are held in a central depository. Most securities
are no longer stored or transported physically but entered into electronic storage media – all
those processes are accompanied by Clearstream.
Clearstream in figures
€ 776 million sales revenue, more than 2,500 customers in over 110 countries, € 11
trillion assets under custody, 126 million transactions processed
